 AND FACULTY Virtually all of the faculty of Mt. Carmel are known for his or her trademark or nickname. These marks of identification are usually acquired either instantly or over a period of time, like one day. The prerequisites for obtaining one or more of these honored marks takes years of schooling. It also takes the individual ef- fort on the part of the teacher coming to school each day, rain or shine, sleet or snow, smog or hangover. Some of these trademarks are basically from nervousness. One good example of this would be Carmel's principal, Fr. Quinn. Fr. Quinn has this thing about do- ing toe stands and swaying to and fro when addressing a large group of people. MS. BROCK, one of Carmel's English teachers, is known to have the fastest chalk this side of the Mississippi. She burns up three packs a day and writes faster than most people talk. BR. LAWRENCE, a long time resident of Carmel, is known for that one of a kind handwriting on the tardy slips and for that one of a kind forehand. Without Mrs. Mimiaga, we wouldn't have our books, receipts for tuition, pens and our Mount Carmel pajamas (better known as sweats).
